This Manitou NAC is a used forklift attachment — sometimes referred to as a work platform or personnel basket — designed to be mounted on a compatible telehandler to allow operators to position workers safely at height. Manitou is a well-established French manufacturer specialising in telescopic handlers, rough-terrain forklifts, and associated lifting equipment, serving construction, agriculture, and industrial sectors worldwide.
This attachment was manufactured in 2019, is described as demo condition, and is located in Poland. It is priced at $17,500.
According to the seller, the platform has a maximum working depth of 94.5 inches. A key feature is the integrated RECCO chip system: an encoded chip embedded in the attachment automatically identifies when the working platform is connected to the host machine, activating the appropriate control programme without manual configuration. While the basket is factory-paired to a specific machine, it can be transferred to other compatible telehandlers, which would require a software update on those machines.
The working platform is CE-marked and certified as compliant with the Machinery Directive EN80:2013+A1:2015, with conformity verified by HHC/DRS, a control body recognised by the Dutch Accreditation Council. In its folded configuration it functions as a standard PSE-type basket, but when extended it opens to roughly double the working area with an open front, at which point a distinct set of safety systems becomes active.
When the basket is deployed in its expanded, open-front configuration, several interlocks and restrictions are enforced automatically. Operation from the MRT cab is only permitted when no personnel are present in the forward section of the platform. The embedded chip simultaneously causes the telehandler to switch to a modified, restricted control programme that limits working speeds. The platform, which spans more than three metres in width when open, is fitted with release switches on both sides: all personnel in the basket must actively confirm they are in a safe position and are aware that movement is about to begin by pressing these switches before the machine can be operated. Additionally, anyone working in the open-front area is required to remain attached to a safety lanyard at all times. The attachment also includes the original Manitou moving-platform controller, which can be used to transfer operational control away from the cab operator when required.
